This, so this. I wish other makers offered a working aspect ratio. The 3:2 from Microsoft Surface line up is great.
Got a tip for us?

16-Inch MacBook Pro Will Reportedly Use Intel's 9th-Gen Processors With Up to 8 Cores

Not the H series (45W) ones used in the larger Pros, they've announced U series (15W) which potentially could have been used in the just-refreshed 13" - though they would have had to leave it without an update for yet another few months.
So the MacBook Pro was just updated last month. Is there much precedent for Apple releasing a new model of a product two to three months after the previous one?
Meanwhile Apple granted patent could use the Mac’s camera to do two things.
First, it would avoid timing-out into sleep mode when there’s someone in front of the machine
Second, face authentication

16" model would be all-new. Top-of-line addition. 15" model will presumably live on. So, I view it a bit differently.
0.6” even. Which to me and implies a higher base config than the 15.4” model. Very few will want to pay a $600 premium just for a slightly (barely) larger screen. There’s nothing in the article that says the 16” has the same processor as the $2,399 15.4” model.
All I can say is if this thing is going to start at $3000, it would be a shame if it was the same starting configuration as the current 15” model.
based on image macOS scaling and this suppose resolution it will not be 16" but around 16.3"
If it’s indeed a new design then it’ll most certainly be an event.
There have also been some reports (not sure of reliability?) that the 15" will be getting the chop as soon as the 16" releases:

Usually if it's a significant redesign new features will be walked-through at an event.
What do you think about the current 15'' pricing? It will definitely be more expensive than that.
wonder why they dont offer the ice lake 10nm as the entry processor.
4 cores + ddr4lp is plenty fast. how about longer battery life? efficiency?

I'd take it in 16" base config, the 28w is faster than my 2011 15" and that is plenty fast for my uses.
because for better UI...227ppi is good enough for laptops...when you run a few task in 4k on todays iGgu...everything runs sub 60fps, around 46 fps
The key point besides price is functionality. Will it have the necessary ports, i.e., SD card, USB-A, or continue this stupid thinness craze. We want FUNCTIONALITY and not having to look for adapters. A couple of millimeters isn't a deal breaker. LACK OF FUNCTIONALITY IS!
It's really strange that they write "this would mean that Apple isn't yet ready to use Intel's latest 10th-generation Ice Lake processors" when it's Intel's H-series processors that aren't ready yet for Apple!
I doubt the 15" goes away. Ming-Chi Kuo expects a new 15" with scissor keyboard in 2020. Alongside the 16".
16" likely starts off as highest-priced, top-of-line config and eventually slides down, but it will take time.
This is what they did with the first Retina display model in 2012.
I don't think Ice Lake is ready with an appropriate chip.
